Beach Front Property

Coron floating city and a five star hotel share the waterfront in Busuanga, Philippines.

In the Philippines, some live in stilt shanties over water due to poverty and lack of accessible housing. Building on water avoids land ownership issues. Homes use scrap wood, tin, and bamboo stilts to stay above tides. These settlements often lack basic utilities like electricity, clean water, and sewage, yet serve as practical solutions for families with no formal housing options.
